EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite terracotta model titled "Model (terracotta)" by Elamite, dating back to 4000-650 BC. Currently housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK, this ancient artifact offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Shush, Iran. The sculpture depicts a reclining nude woman lying on a bed adorned with necklaces. Crafted from light red baked clay with a buff slip, every intricate detail is beautifully preserved. The wicker structure of the bed is prominently displayed, adding an element of realism to this remarkable piece. As we observe this artwork frozen in time, we are transported back to an era long gone. The delicate curves and serene expression on the woman's face evoke a sense of tranquility and peacefulness. Her vulnerability and natural beauty are celebrated through her nudity. This photograph not only captures the essence of female beauty but also highlights the skillful craftsmanship that went into creating such masterpieces during antiquity. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history and allows us to appreciate art forms that have stood the test of time. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we can now admire this extraordinary work without any restrictions or limitations imposed by copyright laws. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past and celebrate their timeless significance for generations to come.
